Rome wasn__ built in a day, but that's because they never used Cosmic Ordering.
Although it is very easy to marry a wife, it is very difficult to support her along with the children and the household. Accordingly, no one notices this faith of Jacob. Indeed, many hate fertility in a wife for the sole reason that the offspring must be supported and brought up. For this is what they commonly say: __hy should I marry a wife when I am a pauper and a beggar? I would rather bear the burden of poverty alone and not load myself with misery and want._ But this blame is unjustly fastened on marriage and fruitfulness. Indeed, you are indicting your unbelief by distrusting God__ goodness, and you are bringing greater misery upon yourself by disparaging God__ blessing. For if you had trust in God__ grace and promises, you would undoubtedly be supported. But because you do not hope in the Lord, you will never prosper.
